2017 CHEVROLET VOLT Complaints

Vehicle lost all motive power while driving on the Highway. Vehicle is part of GM Special Coverage program number N232432680 for BECM issues up to 150,000 miles. Vehicale currently has 109350 miles. Failure on highway while driving is unacceptable and should have been a recall instead of special warranty. GM support is not helpful with service or transportation (one month out for service only at select locations). Vehicle will not restart and had to be pushed from the roadway.

EGR Failed, which blew out the walk home fuse. THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. GM DISCOUNTUNUED VOLTS AND THE EGR VALUE IS NOT AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE.

BECM is broken. Not covered under special warranty but have been told the PZEV warranty would cover it. Dealer & GM will not even discuss covering it. This should not be a VIN specific fix as the part is identical in all 2016-2018 Chevy Volts.

My Chevy Volt went into Reduced Propulsion System Power Mode, the Engine light came on and the vehicle stalled while sitting at a traffic light on [XXX] at [XXX] in Tyler Texas. Checking the computer and the complaints online I found that my 15 AMP #03 fuse (No Walk Home) had blown. I replaced the fuse and the next day on [XXX] the same thing happened again after driving 30 miles. The vehicle stalled at an intersection outside of Tyler Texas. The EGR Valve is known to cause the fuse to blow, so I had no choice but to unplug the EGR Valve and replaced the fuse and has not blown the fuse since. This is BOTH a safety issue and an emissions issue, but the replacement part cannot be found anywhere to purchase anymore so I am having to drive this vehicle with this ongoing safety issue. Due to the nature of the EGR Valve blowing the fuse all the time and that it affects the safety of the vehicle a nationwide recall needs to be done on these vehicles to force GM to start making the part again. This is a dangerous flaw that will cause the vehicle to stall and create a safety hazard. This has been ongoing for quite some time with these Volts, and something needs to be done about it ASAP.

My car needs an Egr valve replacement and this is a known and common problem with this car and now they are trying to charge me outrageous prices for an issue that they know is defective. The becm , the Egr valve, and the shift to park. need to be recognized as recalls

Bad EGR valve in 2017 Chevy Volt, apparently a common problem. Received a check engine light, risk of reduced propulsion (creates risk of stalling and crashing on highway).

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Volt. The contact stated that occasionally, while attempting to park the vehicle, the vehicle failed to recognize that the gear shifter was in park(P). The message “Shift to Park” was displayed, and the contact was unable to turn off the vehicle during the failure. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the gear shifter was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced Technical Service Bulletin: 19-NA-206; as a possible cause for the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.

When moving the shifter to the "P" position after parking, the car will refuse to turn off with the message on the dash: "Action Needed: Shift to Park". Shifter is in Park position but car will not recognize this and does not turn off. The issue can sometimes be resolved by pressing the shifter knob button repeatedly, or by pulling the shifter all the way back to drive and forth to park multiple times until the message is cleared. This happens about 4/10 times that I drive, There is currently a bulletin posted by Chevy for a fix. However, the fix is only covered under a "warranty" and the Chevy repair center at the dealership quoted $400 to complete the repair out of warranty.

I will turn my car on and drive my car and then I will place the car into park and turn off the vehicle as soon as that is done a error message pops up and states that I need to shift to park, but it is in park, and I have to move up the gear shifter slightly and the car turns completely off.
